Lying face up after cornea transplant surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests if lying face up after DMEK surgery (a cornea transplant for Fuchs dystrophy) helps the surgery work better. It may be an option for people with Fuchs dystrophy or bullous keratopathy who can lie flat on their back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy or bullous keratopathy (a condition where the inner layer of your cornea is damaged).
- You are able to lie flat on your back for a period after surgery.
Quick eligibility check

This study looks at how well people do after a specific type of corneal transplant called posterior lamellar keratoplasty. It aims to understand long-term outcomes for patients who had this surgery.
This trial tests a surgical technique called Descemet membrane polishing during corneal transplant surgery for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, a condition that clouds the cornea (the clear front part of your eye). The study aims to see if this polishing step improves healing and vision after surgery.
This trial tests a special intraocular lens that works with a cornea transplant procedure (DMEK) for people who have both cataracts and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy. It aims to see if this lens improves vision and reduces the need for glasses.
This study looks at how a donor's diabetes might affect the long-term success of a specific type of cornea transplant called DMEK. Participants from an earlier study (DEKS) will be followed for up to 5 years to see how well the transplant is doing.
This study tests a scoring system to predict how well people with Fuchs dystrophy do after cataract surgery. It may help doctors plan better treatment for your cornea and lens.
This study looks at a specific type of cornea transplant (called endothelial lamellar transplant) for people with Fuchs disease or other causes of corneal swelling that affect vision. It aims to see whether this surgical approach improves outcomes and quality of life after surgery.
